A Disturbing Find

When I visited Daddy last week he gave me a little zippered plastic bag filled with Momma's various doctor cards. Why he seemed to think I needed this I really don't know. I started going through all of them yesterday and it was a bit mind boggling. There were internal medicine, hospice, pulmonary medicine, gastroenterology, cardivoascular and thoracic, oculoplastics & orbital, gynecological, critical care internal medicine, otolaryngology (ear, nose & throat), optometric, interventional and invasive cardiology, audiologist, refractive surgery (eye), neurological, podiatry, dentist, and orthopaedic (micro vascular surgery). Some of the cards were definitely for Daddy with his hearing and his cardiovascular surgery on his legs, but the eye stuff and the pulmonary stuff was Mom's. It kind of took me back to the days of doctor visits and how downhill she went so very quickly. There were also the common cards like for the dentist and gynecological, even though I knew she had so issues with the later too.

Have to go to a happy place so spent the morning today painting and finished another painting, the sheep. Debating on a name. Be sure to check out the art blog...

I am a mother, wife, friend, sister, partner in business (w/hubby), daughter, daughter-in-law, sister-in-law, mother-in-law, GRANDMOTHER, all of these things I am, I'm very happy with my life and would not change any of it.I'm an empty nester with a fabuluous hubby who I work with. We live in the midwest and have for our whole lives which is just fine with me. I love my home, my kids, my hubby, my life. Life has been good to me. Jill of all Trades comes from the problem I have. I can do numerous things really well but I'm not perfect and when I become bored with whatever I'm doing/working on I move on to the next project/task. I might be a little ADD or it could be the Gemini in me...whatever.... P.S. I am now counting myself an artist!
